Day 7: Richardson Highway towards Valdez
Today we're going to take the long drive through the Richardson Hwy, near the Alaskan pipeline, towards Valdez. We took some food and drinks with us, and apparently this was a very clever thing to do, since it was pretty hard to find a reasonable place ...
All packed and ready to go
Well, I think I'm all packed and ready to get on the plane. I leave DFW tomorrow morning and will arrive in Quito at 6:30 p.m. Sunday is our first full day, and that will be all orientation and training. I found out a little about my ...

A streetcar named desire
... and enjoy the day' type of days was going to begin. By 9:30 my friend got a phone that her suitcase had arrived in Richardson, but ours was still missing. Lucky for us, it was possible to go collect her thing ourselves. We had absolutely no desire to ...
Mission Van Go
Yep, the van has a name. (Mission Van Go) I am wondering how optimistic it was to use the word "go" in the name. I have purchased a very comprehensive repair manual if that tells you anything. Here we are making some cosmetic repairs. We have a ...

We arrived in Dallas, our suitcases didn't
We knew it would be a tight thing, but since they sold it, we never really understood what the risks would be. In Brussels our plane had a delay of 5 minutes. Not huge, but appearently enough for our luggage to not make it on the flight going from ...
Chirstmas Pregame
Well, time's flying and I can't believe how fast everything is going. The day before Thankgiving we decided we would do a bit of Christmas shopping and prepare our own little Thanksgiving feast. So, we got all packed up and went out to get a ...

In search of cowboys....
So after the relative gloom of New York, I catch a flight to Dallas. I change in Charlotte and am immediately excited by the super cute accents. Everyone is real friendly! I'm met at the airport by Lindsey, Sean and Jackson and we head back their ...
First Aussie we met was a doozy...
Forest dropped us off at DFW at around 4pm and we started a long journey. We had a bit of a layover in SFO before climbing on our close Quantas quarters for the long trip to Syndey. It hurt to walk past all the first class seats. We ...
First, Chinese BBQ
So let's ease into this. First Chinese BBQ is great. I remember going to this restaurant on Greenville Ave back in the late 80's for the first time, taken by my friend Paul Kuo. It was a hole in the wall, the worn carpet had a grease path on it ...
Deep Fried Butter anyone?
(So I didn't realize I didn't push publish, so this is a bit old...) The first part of our October was spent moving into our new place. We finally got everything situated and picked out a dinning room table and a couch. Adam drove back ...
Better Late than never....
So, I've been quite the slacker on updating this since Christmas, but when we're gone for 3 weeks there's quite a lot of catching up to do when we get back. During Christmas it was nice to see a lot of family and friends. Always good to have ...

Dallas Heritage and local food
Friday was a day of exquisite food and ancient history. We paid a visit to the Farmers market and got enough fruitsamples to survive the day. Every merchant gave us a little piece of orange, pineapple, pear, blueberry, tomato, ... essentially whatever ...
